Hi,
I have a question about winterizing a GTS white motor using the bilge pump and bucket method. I look at the top of the motor and the two water hoses have a little white arrow pointing in and out of the head. My though was that I should unhook the one that shows water flowing into the engine and hook the bilge pump to that one, start the motor, and start the pump...and the water will circulate through everything, come out the exhause, and be good to go.
But my question is why is the flush port on the outlet hose? I also have read some threads that talk about using that outlet flush port, and having to use a hose pincher on the end of that hose that goes toward the pump. Is that the right way? And in the manual it says to pour antifreeze in the muffler. I'm wanting to not have to do that, so that's why I'm asking about the proper way to flush with the bilge pump and antifreeze in a bucket so it goes through the full system.
Any thoughts on which way is the right way, or would both work?
